1 hr

15–20 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 4 tbsp After Ate Rooibos Tea
  • 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
  • 3⁄4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1⁄2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour, or gluten-free flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup shredded, un-sweetened coconut, lightly toasted
  • 3 tbsp dark chocolate sprinkles, optional

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350° F (175°C).
  • Line a Sheet Pan with a Sheet Pan Liner, or a lightly greased 9 by 13-inch dish.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter, After Ate Tea, both sugars, salt, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until very well-blended and creamy.
  • Gently incorporate the flour, and then fold in the rolled oats and coconut.
  • Form ingredients into a ball on the Sheet Pan Liner, then press gently and work it into about a 10 by 12-inch rectangle, and approximately 3⁄4 of an inch thick. Sprinkle top with dark chocolate sprinkles, if desired.
  • Bake 20–30 minutes, until golden-brown and firm in the middle.
  • Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack; let cool 5–10 minutes. Cut into squares.
